Description of problem: I use virt-sparsify and virt-sysprep to deploy templates inside a filesystem directory storage pool.(Mostly because virt-manager cannot run sysprep.) After the image is created from the CLI, I open virt-manager and start creating a VM for it. When I get to the point of attaching the disk, it's not in my storage pool. Furthermore, there's no refresh option when choosing a disk image. Instead, I have to go to Edit -> Connection Details -> Storage and refresh from there. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): This has been a problem in virt-manager for a long time, but I'm currently using 0.9.4. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new image in a storage pool. 2. Try to attach the image to a VM. 3. Image is not available until a manual refresh of the storage pool is performed. Expected results: Virt-manager should automatically refresh a storage pool whenever a user selects it. The other option would be to add a refresh button or a right click menu, so users don't have to open up "Connection Details." Additional info: A screenshot with proposed refresh button is attached.

Libvirt should do this for us automatically, there's already a bug tracking that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 821508 ***
